Been using NixOS for a while now. It's heavily systemd oriented, and it also makes adding and configuring systemd-based services and jobs a breeze. I find myself doing it multiple times a week.
- breakds 4y agoSame here. I do not have any opinion towards systemd, but using it together with NixOS is really simple and hassle-free.
- prmoustache 4y agoWhat I meant is that in most case, the service you need are already configure and come with the packages of the distro and the only thing you do is enabling and starting them. Which is not more difficult with runit than systemd and it is probably the same for dinit or openrc. I mean systemd is still great, it allow a regular unprivileged user to create services and timers without having admin access, which is really nice to launch automatically some podman containers for example. But this is a niche use case and mostly limited to dev/sysadmins.
